About Me

I'm always looking for new adventures and opportunities. I love live music, and swimming is a building block of my life. I'm learning & taking advantage of things thrown my way.

PHILOSOPHY

Anything not forbidden is compulsory.
No weak heart shall prosper.
Judge people not on how they treat you, but how they treat others.
The world is beautiful through the eyes of it's locals.
Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards.
Juxtaposition is the spice of life.
Be where you are.

No matter what you hear - GO!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am constantly looking for community. I pass along my knowledge with others (aka talk to people until they fall asleep). We share the comfort of our home, and do our best to make travellers not feel like smelly foreigners!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed across East Africa in 2009. Met with surfers abroad to go snorkelling (Marte & Stij) & race in a camel derby (Jenny)! Made lifelong friends in very short days.

After doing the Tongariro Crossing with the Auckland CSing crew, someone pointed out that going to Wednesday Drinks was like coming home. Immersed in it - we ended up doing things together every night of the week!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having my own radio show & being able to share the music I love with other people!
Camel racing!
I made 12$ busking in New Orleans playing the wooden xylophone!
Sailing across the Pacific!
Paddling
Hanging with the locals & falling in love with a new country. Over & over again.
Finding a home...

Seeing the look on your face...

Teach, Learn, Share

The key to learning to float can be related to many things - you must learn to relax.
